Answer to Question 1

C
Many nurses tend to be more comfortable with meeting physical needs than in focusing on emotional needs. Standard precautions are necessary for all patients. The patient's lifestyle is irrelevant.

Answer to Question 2

B
Reality therapy focuses on responsibility and does not accept the premise of mental illness. Reality therapists look at the present and future and do not look to the past for excuses for behavior. Reality therapy also emphasizes the morality of behavior and does not allow the client's own interpretation of right and wrong.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
